The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 991

Peyton was scared out of her wits.

She was genuinely afraid that this bunch would lay hands on her if they didn't get the money.

Peyton leaned against the door for a brief rest, and then

called Grant.

After two rings, as usual, Grant hung up.

In tears, Peyton left a heartfelt voicemail for Grant, pleading, "Honey, my family was here just now. Could you please give them the money first? The 17 million I gave you last time. You didn't spend it all, did you?"

A moment later,

Grant replied.

"Thanks to your daughter, all 17 million was used to plug financial holes."

"I know your family was there. Didn't I tell them to go find Paige?"

Peyton freaked out

and left another voicemail: "You can't just shove all the blame onto Paige. When she was introducing so many clients to you and making you tons of money a few years ago, you didn't say anything like this. Moreover, we had to protect Kelsey Sharp's family. We hurt Paige's feelings, and that's why she chose to cut ties with us. But I know Paige. She wouldn't go to these partners and ask them to sever ties with you as well. Have you ever considered that maybe you just didn't do a good job in the first place? So, without Paige, you can't carry on!"

This voicemail

infuriated Grant.

He called her straight away.

Peyton quickly picked up: "Honey..."

"You bitch, you can't even discipline your own daughter. Now that she's screwed over the Sutton family, you're blaming me?" Before Peyton could speak, Grant yelled, "How well do you know your daughter? Wasn’t it she who had me beaten half to death just to avenge you?"

Peyton was stunned.

"What are you talking about? When did Paige ever beat you?"

"Don't play dumb. You bumped your own head, didn't you? You went to Logan Sutton and even Paige to tattle on me, and that very night I was beaten half to death by some thugs. If it wasn't Paige who did this, was it my own son?"

"I didn't go to her!" Peyton quickly said, "It was Logan... Logan must have told her! Honey, how are you now? How badly are you hurt? Where are you? I'll go take care of you right now!"

"No need!" Grant disdainfully said.

A sensitive nerve in Peyton was suddenly hit hard.

"Do you not need me? Then who do you need? That woman?"
